Description

It was the year of the Beatles and the Civil Rights Act; of the Gulf of
Tonkin and Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign; the year that cities
across the country erupted in violence and Americans tried to make sense of
the Kennedy assassination. Based on The Last Innocent Year: America in 1964
by award-winning journalist Jon Margolis, this film follows some of the most
prominent figures of the time -- Lyndon B. Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Barry Goldwater, Betty Friedan -- and brings out from the shadows the
actions of ordinary Americans whose frustrations, ambitions and anxieties
began to turn the country onto a new and different course.
